Both players were left with four pawns, a Rook, Queen and King till the end. The Norwegian started the game very slowly, while Anand looked very steady with a definite plan in place. However, the 44-year-old was unable to carry on the same momentum as the game progressed.

Anand failed to win even a single match in last year's World Chess Championship in Chennai. The Indian chess Grandmaster would be hoping to seal a victory over Carlsen when the pair face each other in Game 2 on Sunday.
